AUCKLAND: In the midst of match fixing allegations, former all rounder of New Zealand Chris Cairns has now been facing severe financial issues due to unemployment that pushed him to drive a truck and to clean bus shelters, ARY News has learnt.

According to International media, the 44-year old cricketer is driving a truck for $17 an hour and cleaning bus shelters to make ends meet and to support his family. Cairns has reportedly taken up a job with Auckland Council which operates trucks that are used for water blasting bus stations.
